Yes I do too. I can be doing anything and all of a sudden I’ll have a thought about something and it’s over for me. Most of the time I can talk myself down pretty quick, but not always. It doesn’t matter the time of day, and for some reason weekends are worse. I guess because I know I can’t do anything about it till Monday.
I just try to keep my brain engaged all the time. Either reading or watching something funny on tv.

I have that happen a lot. It usually happens at school. I'll be sitting there and all of a sudden my chest gets really tight, and it's hard for me to breathe.

I get this a lot. Almost like someone has come up behind me and scared me. I don’t understand it how it can happen when I’m completely fine resting with no worries and then bam! It just hits.

All the time. Especially about money

All the time. Especially about money

Happens to me quite a bit. have to practice breathing and calming my self. Know how you feel

You are not alone, Walkwithme. My med/psych pros call them Anxiety or Panic Attacks. I certainly feel attacked when ^it^ happens. Sucks, big time.

I'm another who uses breathing exercises to get through them. When I can regulate my breath, the attack usually passes without significant residual effects.

I have been suffering with this same issue just recently. It is so strange to me bc it’s been happening in grocery stores. It’s the same routine, nothing has ever changed. The same store. But now I am getting panic attacks going grocery shopping. It sucks, cuz I feel like I’m either going to pass out or throw up.

I have been told that the panic attacks/anxiety feelings are a “fight or flight mode” we experience when our adrenal glands are pumped. It could be chemical or psychological that are triggering these feelings.
Relaxation methods help. I found that biofeedback has helped me tremendously.
I fully understand that medication can help BUT it is important to find out what is causing that feeling so you can best treat it. Treating the cause and not the symptoms.
